    100% agreement here.  Uh-HUH!

    connection_ip() and connection_hostname() functions which return ONLY
    "1.2.3.4" and "foo.bar.baz" would be dandy-fine.  connection_name() could
    still be used for whatever purposed people use that port info.

    The names are rather fucked, though.  Maybe connection_name() should be
    renamed to connection_info() or something.
